Kashmiri activist slam Pakistan for its intent to change PoK status

Dec 18, 2019

Zurich, Switzerland, December 17. 2019: - After remaining under illegal occupation for over seven decades, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is hinted out to be merged with Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces of Pakistan. An order dated 11th December issued by ‘Azad Government of the State of Jammu and Kashmir’ Services and General Administration Department (Regulations) said the ‘President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir’ ordered renaming of ‘Azad Jammu and Kashmir Management Group’ as `Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services’ (JKAS) with immediate effect. The order was issued just a couple of days after PoK Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan said in Muzaffarabad that he could be the last Prime Minister of PoK dropping enough hints that Pakistan could alter the status of PoK. Khan’s statement had drawn flak from several PoK leaders, who had opposed the sinister plan of Pakistan to fiddle with the status of PoK, which was an autonomous territory held illegally by Pakistan as it was part and parcel of India.
